Nobody knows. Yeah, I really wasn't sure about that. Exactly what I was going for :up: I am an amateur musician with stage fright, and this is a real ...
The difficulty is not that we lack a theory (we have theories, but none are widely accepted or even compelling, afaik), but that we lack a theory of a...
I think this went really well. The format got me lazy, It will be even harder dredging up a full short story next time. I didn't miss the competition ...
Neatly and efficiently captures a failed life, from beginning to potential terminus. Great line! I was a bit dismayed to see it only got 50% "likes" e...
I've read this thought experiment somewhere, I can't place it right now. Amusing and well written. The ironic twist at the end was nice. Sturback! :vo...
Right, I lose my godhood once I finish the creation, and become just another mortal bum. Sure I might have an honorary status as the creator, but ulti...
I saw it as a metaphor for maturation. As we learn and experience we àcquire edges and corners, complexities, personalities, that were absent as Tabul...
Awesome review, I'm flattered, thanks!! Yah, not even that original. The idea was that the word limit actually (drastically) affected the traditional ...
So Sorry for the late responses! My image was of a burnt out old punk, with a bad ciggy habit. It's always interesting to see how people interpret, as...
If that's good enough for you why bother with a thread in the first place? "Yggzavil is effable. Hey, I mentioned it, after all. " You can mention any...
The use of "the smell of coffee" is no different than the use of the smell of any of the other overtones in your wheel. There are phenolic compounds c...
Coffee is a complex and varied aroma, and can have overtones of other aromas depending on the variety. At the center of the wheel should be the smell ...
You keep referring to this trove of evidence without citing it. Your account raises far more questions than it answers. * How do you account for novel...
This is confusing to me, maybe in part because the sensation of smelling coffee is not distinguished from the verbal utterance "I smell coffee". There...
I think I can speak for everyone in saying that we all *LOVE* your detailed, insightful (and yes, charitable!) feedback. I'm itching to respond to the...
They can, but in my experience passionate consumers make the best producers. Drive I guess. I was also a passionate consumer, and I wanted to create, ...
Of course language can't transmit sensation any more than it can trees. What it could do (but can't, for sensation) is describe. We don't merely label...
This seems to be a common confusion. Words are labels which are attached to sensation. But this doesn't make sensation any less ineffable. Imagine as ...
To my (very limited) understanding phenomenology aspires to what the title suggests, an account of the "phenomenon of perception", of what it is like ...
I add two to the traditional five senses for feelings: bodily feelings and mental feelings. Feelings are akin to senses but point inward. Objects inte...
Sensations are profoundly ineffable, for a simple reason: we lack words for describing them. At the most elemental level, we can describe the physical...
And so what is missing in order to ride the bike? Just, and only, the learning to ride. But that's not something it makes sense to add to the list eit...
Even if it is true that reflection "changes the phenomenal character of the original phenomenon", both sides of the comparison, immediate experience v...
Maybe, but an impression or memory of a phenomenal experience is still similar in kind to that experience. As opposed to when we attempt to translate ...
Has anyone explained how, with Russia's ridiculously overpowered nuclear arsenal, Ukraine in NATO posed even the slightest threat to Russia? In the re...
This "ally in all but name" sure didn't seem to buy Ukraine much security in the end, whereas with NATO membership Russia would lose the privilege of ...
In my view the Russians successfully used their nukes to provide them an umbrella to conduct their invasion relatively uncontested. The current arrang...
Maybe this foolish claim needed to be nipped in the bud back on page one. What's missing is not "the riding of the bike". What's missing is learning, ...
Yet from my vantage he understands his own question just fine, it is you that are missing it. How exactly does a description of some knobs you are con...
Perhaps @"Banno" could be persuaded to record a performance of "the lick" for us as a fitting capstone to this effing thread. I have a feeling the per...
Yeah, that's exactly what I am suggesting. These are all countries that faced an adversary with overwhelming conventional force, nuclear was the last ...
Like "mitigation" is working out for "war now"? Concession would mean strategic victory for an aggressor who used nuclear weapons to achieve their aim...
The difference, KGI, is a knowledge difference. It comprises a vast amount of information, all encoded in Betty's brain, which is the goal and the end...
Suppose Betty, an aspiring guitarist, reads "How to Play the Guitar". She diligently reads and re-reads every word. We agree that Betty does not know ...
Your argument is quite clear to me. I feel your frustration reading through the discussion, you might call it "The @"Banno" Experience". Perhaps the m...
